I got a laser printer ten or fifteen years ago for like $50, new. I barely ever use it, but when I need it it's great. It doesn't go bad just sitting there. It's a "stable" tech in the sense that the core technology isn't improving, or at least it's good enough for anything that I plan to use it for, they're just adding more bells and whistlers to the printers. Just buy one and it could last you a lifetime.
I honestly don't print things enough to require a printer, but I'll be buying a Bluetooth printer within the next few weeks regardless. Better to have it and not need it.
I just recently bought this because my wife wanted something with wireless printing.

As far as printers go, it seems to be pretty solid EXCEPT instead of just giving you a driver to install on your devices, you actually have to install an app to set it up, and it demands access to all sorts of telemetry stuff, location data, etc. Not a fan of that. The printer that worked fine that it replaced, was a also an HP laser printer, that I keep in the event I want/need to print something I don't want to be tied back to me.
